The Reason I Pick Ewe

by Lawrence Christopher

The Reason I Pick Ewe
And not a baby lamb,
Is where you may not be fully developed
Yet you are quite mature.
The Reason I Pick Ewe
You are beyond your years.
Though young in days
Through experience and happenstance
You are seasoned.
The Reason I Pick Ewe
Through it all
It has prepared you to be
The supportive ‘help meet’
By my side
To have my back
As we undergo our journey.
The Reason I Pick Ewe
You are the opportunity
Many wish they could have a chance for.
The Reason I Pick Ewe
Is because I’ve grown to love you.
